Bargains: Free Haircut from Herbal Essences
Do you use Herbal Essences? Check out their offer for a free haircut with the purchase of two Herbal Essences products. Only selected bottles with a green stick qualify, so check out the site so you know what you're getting. Once you have both bottles, visit their website and enter the UPC codes. It will give you a form to fill out and send in along with your receipt and UPC codes. They will send you a voucher and a list of places that will take the voucher.
It sounds like a lot of work, but free is free, and if you're already using their products, why not?
And thanks to Frugal, Freebies and Deals for the head's up!

Tips: Combining Coupons and Sales
In an effort to keep my spending under control, I've been combining coupons with sale prices to get the best possible deal and reading my receipts very carefully. And sometimes, when a deal is particularly good, reading the receipt puts a big smile on my face.
For example, last week Walgreens had a coupon for $5 off a purchase of $20 or more. I also needed to pick up some make-up and I had two Maybelline coupons, one for $2 off a foundation and another for $1 off eye make-up. They were in the Sunday paper a few weeks ago but with a good three months before they expired, so I clipped them and waited for the right time.
The right time happened to be last Friday, when Walgreens advertised all Maybelline cosmetics at buy one, get one half off. I picked out my foundation, marked at $9.99, and mascara, marked at $7.99. At regular price, that added up to $17.98. With the sale promotion, it came to $13.98, saving me about $4. But throw in my manufacturer's coupons, and it took $2 off the sale price of the foundation and $1 off the sale price of the mascara. My total for my make-up: $11.98.
Then I just needed to pick up some cough syrup for my sister to bring my total to $20 after the promos and coupons, and use that last $5 coupon for my entire purchase. Sweet!

Saving Money at Whole Foods
Whole Foods has a reputation for being expensive because they carry natural and organic products, plus they don't carry the same national brand names that advertise in your Sunday paper. However, that doesn't mean that you can't save money there. Here's some tips from the Whole Foods Blog on how to save money.
→ Mambo Sprouts has a quarterly publication that carries coupons for organic and natural products. They will start offering e-coupons later this fall, but for now you can sign up to get offers by mail and e-mail.
→ Organic Valley has printable e-coupons for their organic and soy dairy products. It looks like they're being offered through coupons.com, so keep your eyes open!
→ Organic Prairie has printable e-coupons for organic meat products, including steaks, hot dogs and deli meats.
→ Pick up a copy of The Whole Deal newsletter when you get to Whole Foods. The copy I got last week has budget recipes and meal planners for under $4 a serving plus over $30 in coupons.
Whole Foods also goes one step further and gives you 10¢ off your purchase for every bag that you re-use, and even if you're re-using bags from another story. Those 99¢ re-usable bags pay for themselves after 10 trips.

Now that's a deal!
It's not exactly what I'd call gourmet, but last night I found a coupon at whitecastle.com for a $0.99 sack of fries. I went there for lunch today and found that the regular price is more like $2.19, so by using the coupon, I saved $1.30.
But it got even better. The cashier either didn't read the coupon correctly or couldn't input the price, and my total seemed a lot lower than I expected. After checking my receipt, I saw that she gave me the fries for free. That's an even better savings than I anticipated!
The bottom line: it can really pay to watch for and collect those coupons.
